“Your IP has changed from Private to Public” scam
In this telephone scam, the caller tries to convince you that your home network, and your IP address, has switched from a “private” to “public” mode, and that you are at risk. This is a trick to try to convince you to let the caller have remote access to your computer and home network.

They said they were a telstra technician and my internet had been turned into a public connection. They hung up on me when I said I would check with my provider. They knew my name
